This was a huge surprise for me, making me experience a cognitive dissonance.
> I am a very bottom-up thinker. If you give me the right kind of Tinker Toys
I am a boitom-up thinker, I cannot imagine a house if I don't know about what kind of bricks exist, which we use and why!
I have blamed that trait for the main reason for stagnating in my carreer while idealising people like Thompson, due to their achievements.
- Sacho 9y agoHuh, I feel exactly the same way. I've never been employed in a position where the bottom-up approach was the one people were actually looking for, so I've always felt guilty about my work ethic - I feel like I'm satisfying my own curiosity on company time.
- dorfsmay 9y agoI don't feel like not adding value: Being a bottom-up thinker means I can get to the root cause of hard problems, or even warn and prevent bad solutions. My problem is that I have always felt that only top-down thinkers can do architecture and design. This article shows that this is not the case.
